Psalms 105:37

35 They devoured every plant in their land and consumed the produce of their soil.

36 Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor.

He brought Israel out with silver and gold, and none among His tribes stumbled.

38 Egypt was glad when they departed, for the dread of Israel had fallen on them.

39 He spread a cloud as a covering and a fire to light up the night.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
